Early Thursday morning, an Arizona state trooper stopping to help a woman ejected from a car wreck was shot in an ambush, downing him, then had his head bashed against the pavement by the shooter before a driver passing by on the remote highway saved the trooper by shooting the assailant to death.
The car wreck occurred on Interstate 10 in the desert west of Phoenix. The woman who was ejected died from her injuries. The trooper suffered a severe wound to his shoulder and upper chest but he is expected to recover.
